Chapter 03: Take A Breath

Jax laughed at the reaction that everyone had to his sister coming home before remind he that she should see if she could get a hold of her mother as no one had been able to reach her. Kali excused herself from the group and tried to walk away but realised that she still had Kenny attached to her legs, she pulled his arms away and crouched down to his level and whispered in his ear that if he went and hugged his dad that she would play with him in a while..

"We have the ATF watching us," Chibs said suddenly, it was one thing everyone had neglected to mention to her including Jax.

"Jax? When did you plan on telling me this?" Kali asked, spinning around on her heels as she stood up to face her older brother with a look of shock. "Well when?"

"Sorry, I didn't think it was important," Jax said before trying to get back to the subject at hand.

"Not important, don't you think that it could be why mom hasn't answered her phone?" Kali asked, pulling hers out again and looking between Chibs and Jax. "Who's in charge of it? I mean seriously you must have talked to them,"

"June Stahl," Jax answered, unsure of what his sister would do with the information. "What are you doing?"

"Calling Pen, she might be able to give us a little information on her," Kali laughed, hugging Jax she was trying her hardest to get them to keep their minds off of Abel missing. They would find him sooner or later.

"Who's Pen?" Chibs questioned, not liking where this was going.

"FBI...I've been friend with her since before I left Charming, she's a hacker – can hack anything," she told them as she went to her list of last dialled calls. "Let me call her, and then I'll try mom," as soon as she said that she hit the green phone button again. "Chibs, don't worry she knows about me...Jax you tell him what I told you,"

'You've reached the all knowing, all seeing Penelope Garcia,' Penelope said, looking to the computer screen where Abel's photo was still running through all the programs available to her with no luck.

"Hey Pen, need one last favour..." Kali trailed off as she listened to Jax and Chibs talking.

Chibs stared at the younger man wondering what his sister could possibly have told the FBI agent on the other end of the phone. Jax looked up at him and sighed did they really have to get into this.

"Apparently she knows about the Sons, and her affiliation with us. Kali said that she'd never do anything that'll hurt her,"

"Are you sure?" Chibs questioned, he wanted to be absolutely certain that the FBI wouldn't arrive in Charming.

"Chibs, I'm sure," Kali said before turning her attention back to Penelope.

'Shoot, also I've had no luck as yet on the search for your nephew,' Penelope said as she readied herself to type in the next search.

"What can you tell me about an Agent June Stahl...she's with the ATF? And I know that you could get into a lot trouble for this," Kali said, it was true – Penelope could quite possibly end up getting herself fired if her bosses found out what she was doing.

'June Stahl, ooh this is interesting. It looks like she has some characteristics of a sociopath, and apparently she doesn't like males at all,' Penelope told her, as she looked further into the agent. 'She's had several complaints against her from male co-workers claiming that she was coming onto them...she uses black-mail a lot, which I believe that your family has already encountered. I can't say much else, pumpkin. I'm sorry,'

"Hey Pen, thank you for that. I still owe you big time," Kali told her, both women hung up their phones. Kali went back to listening to Jax and Chibs talking to which now Clay an Tig had joined in. "Look you guys wanted my help in finding Abel so now I'm helping,"

Clay looked down at her and took her by the arm, pulling her into a hug. After all she was his baby girl, Kali looked up at him and then took a step back slapping him. She knew that he would know why she had done it, but the others wouldn't have a clue.

"Dad as much as I love you, I don't like what you've been doing..." Kali muttered, closing her eyes and then turning to face Jax. "Jax, I'll try mom now, just if dad doesn't stay back I will kick his ass,"

"Come with me kiddo, Chibs you heard her," Jax said pulling his little sister close and hugging her before guiding her into the club and through to where they held 'church'. "What did your friend say about the ATF Agent?"

"I'll tell you after I see if I can get mom," Kali said still holding onto her phone, she automatically dialled her mothers number. "Mom, if you're in the vicinity of your phone please pick up," after a couple of seconds Gemma Teller-Morrow picked up the phone.

'Kali, sweetie what do you want?' Gemma questioned, instantly recognising her daughters voice.

"Mom, where are you? I came home to see you and you're not here. And no one's been able to get you," Kali said, lying through her teeth she knew that her mother didn't have a clue about Abel being missing.

'You're lying I can tell,' Gemma said looking around the room that she had found herself sitting in.

"Sorry, you need to come home please mom, Jax needs you," Kali said as Jax rested his head on her shoulder and they sat in 'Church' side by side. "Mom, he really does, I need you too,"

'Whatever for?' Gemma asked, taking a deep breath as she prepared herself for what Kali might say.

"Abel's gone, Half-Sack's dead...and Agent Stahl is sociopath," Kali said as fast as she could while Jax closed his eyes listening to her talk.

'What do you mean, my grandson's missing?' Gemma queried, standing up and getting her things together.

"Only what Jax and Dad told me, Abel's been kidnapped by the Irish man – about a week ago. Jax said that was the last time that they saw you too," Kali said taking a deep breath and glancing down at Jax. "Please come home Mom,"

As soon as their conversation was finished Kali and Gemma hung up their respective phones. Kali glanced down at Jax again and noted that he had fallen asleep, it looked s though it was the first time all week that he slept. Sighing she prodded him and motioned that if he was that tired, maybe they should go to his room.

"When'd he fall asleep?" Bobby questioned, poking his head in the door of the room.

"Almost as soon as we sat down," Kali answered looking up at Bobby and continuing to poke Jax.

"You know he hasn't slept in a week." Bobby told her, resting his head against the door frame.

"That explains why he was falling asleep in the cage on the way back," she laughed poking him once more in the stomach causing Jax to grab her hand.

"Stop it!" Jax whined in an almost child-like manner.

"Wake your damn ass up," Kali said poking him with her free hand and then pushing his head off of her shoulder. "Seriously wake up,"

"I don't want too and stop prodding me!" he exclaimed with his eyes still closed as he caught himself from falling.

"Hell no, get up and go to bed! You need sleep, if Pen calls I'll let you know. I'm going to fill the guys in on her," Kali looked straight at him and then rolled her eyes when he didn't move straight away. "Jackson move it!"

"Don't want to!" Jax whined again, letting go of her and crossing his arms indignantly.

"Don't make me pull my big brothers ass off the couch and on to the floor," she smirked at Bobby who by now had opened the door and the entire club was staring at her.

Bobby, Clay, Chibs, Tig, Opie, Piney and Juice stood looking between the siblings wondering who was going to do what. Opie stared at her, he knew what she was capable of, having seen her pull her big brother out of the bed multiple times when they were kids. Juice raised an eyebrow, he really had no idea about her.

"I'm only going to say it once more, get your damn ass up," she laughed before standing up and grabbing Jax's feet. "I said I was only going to say it once more,"

"What is she doing?" Juice queried, looking at Chibs and Opie who just laughed before answering him.

"She's going to pull his ass off the couch," Opie answered pulling out a cigarette and lighting it up.

"She's tiny," Juice responded, causing Kali to spin around and glare at him.

"Me tiny? Never, last time I checked I could still hold my own," Kali said giving Jax's feet a good yank, causing his body to jerk and him to fall off the couch with a thud. "See, this is what he gets when he doesn't listen to his little sister,"

Clay slapped Juice upside the head for calling her 'tiny' and looked at the siblings before speaking. The others chuckled to themselves as they looked between them.

"What'd your friend say?" he questioned, motioning for her to follow him to the office.

"When we get to the office," was her reply as she pulled up her hair and pulled off her jacket as it as starting to annoy her. Walking close behind Clay they made their way to the office and he closed the door behind them

"Well, what did your friend tell you," Clay asked her again, looking at her as he sat down and motioned for her to do the same thing.

"She said that she has some of the characteristics of a sociopath, she has a strong hatred towards men. She uses black-mail, and has several complaints against her from male co-workers," Kali answered, taking a deep breath before she continued. "Dad, that's all she's told me. She's also seeing if she can find Abel. I trust her,"

"Why do you trust someone who's not SAMCRO?" Clay asked nodding as he looked her, she folded her arms and looked him in the eyes.

"Because I do, and the people I trust would never in a million years hurt me," Kali told her, still looking him straight in the eyes. "Dad, just please trust me. And look at your grand kids," she said as she pulled a photo out from her back-pocket that she always kept with her.

"Don't tell me what to do young lady," Clay said taking a deep breath and taking the photo from her.

"Jackson Thomas," Kali said, she knew that he would want to know his names as he hadn't bothered to visit her when she had, had him. "Yes I named him after Jax,"

"How old?" Clay asked, he didn't know much about his grandchildren. He knew that Abel was six months but that was it.

"He's two, at the moment he's with my partner's parents," Kali answered, and that was how she wanted it to stay for the time being. "His grandparent's."

"You have a son, who you didn't bring home? And have never brought home," Clay huffed looking at his daughter and taking a deep breath as their was a knock at the door, he stuck the photo under his desk.

Kali nodded, and slipped out the side door and ran straight into Opie who had made his way to the side door with Jax they had planned to try and get her out without the ATF seeing her. Opie and Jax both wrapped an arm around her, and guided her to her old bike. They had secretly been restoring it for her.

"Take your ride, and go I'll meet you at the house," Jax whispered kissing the top of her forehead as she wrapped her arms around him. "Trust me, I'll be there. See Tara,"

"I'll see you there," Kali whispered, taking the keys from him and jumping on her bike but not before holding the gun the in her hands that she had taken from her fathers office. "Took it from dad's office," she smirked sliding the gun into her boot after checking to make sure the safety was on.

"Keep it safe," Jax told her patting her on the back as she started up the bike, and the rode out of the garage. "Juice follow her, make sure she gets there safe,"

Juice nodded and walked calmly over to his bike and jumped on following Kali away from the garage.
